DUBLIN – Since playing in his first PGA Tour event as a professional in the final week of January 2013, Jordan Spieth has since spent well more than half of his young life on the road.

Try 43 of 72 weeks.

He’s played all around the U.S. In China, Scotland, Panama, Colombia and Puerto Rico, too.

This would raise white flags of potential burnout with most people. Then again, this is Jordan Spieth, the scrapping 20-year-old Texan who doesn’t look the worse for wear: either in appearance or his results.

He isn’t cutting back on his schedule anytime soon.

“I’ve played a lot of golf over the last couple of years, but I enjoy it and I’m not tired,” he said Tuesday at Muirfield Village Golf Club, home to the Memorial Tournament.

The tournament has attracted nine of the top-12 players in the world, including No. 10 Spieth.

“I’m not going to be tired. I’ll live for a long time, so I’ll keep on playing a lot of tournaments,” he said.

“That’s what it’s all about for me, is getting out here and competing with these guys that I’ve looked up to for so many years. That’s what’s so cool to me.”

Spieth’s schedule talks to his passion to play, his targeting of major tournaments and his character.

As an amateur and as a young pro, he received sponsor’s exemptions into tournaments and continues to feel an obligation and affection to those events. Plus, he loves playing in the events.

“That’s important,” he said, “because they allowed me to really be here today.”

He also looked at the places he played well when making this year’s schedule. He had the four major championships in mind, The Players Championship, the World Golf Championships and the FedExCup. There was no way he was going to miss the Memorial, where he played in college and made his debut in the 2013 Presidents Cup when he became the youngest U.S. player in the event’s history.

Before he knew it, he had fewer and fewer off weeks. This week, he’s playing his fourth tournament in as many weeks, the second time this year he’s gone four in a row. But he feels rested, fresh and ready to go.

“You need to have a break. I took two weeks off on two tournaments I played last year that I really enjoyed playing last year, and I hope to go back to New Orleans and Charlotte. But I can’t play every event,” he said. “A two-week break in two four-week stretches here, I think it was really important to get that rest and really get some fire back.

“I was anxious by the end of that first week to get back out, and I had to wait another week. I felt like I got fresh legs for this stretch, and then after this week I’ll go home and get fresh legs and kind of pick apart these last four weeks on what I really need to focus on in preparation for the U.S. Open.”

So far the schedule hasn’t worn him down on the golf course. While he hasn’t won this season, he has five top-5s, including runner-up finishes in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and the Masters. He also finished in a tie for fourth at The Players. He’s missed just two cuts.

He’s especially rejuvenated here at Muirfield, where he said in a good way the practice facilities are “a joke.” Where the course is an utmost challenge, where memories percolate from college and the Presidents Cup, where he can bump into and talk with Jack Nicklaus, who built the place.

“It’s cool to be back at a place where I had the memories of the Presidents Cup,” he said. “This is an incredible tournament, one of the best ones of the year. I just drove by the 18th just now and just to see the green and remember the celebration (from the Presidents Cup) and just the amazing times that we had throughout that week, which is one of the most incredible weeks of my life, was great.

“It’s been a fun journey. It’s been an amazing journey. I’m living my dream, which is really cool.”
